Living donor stories

Betsy, living kidney donor

“I’ve been so fortunate to be able to give to my sister, and I’m so fortunate that I was allowed to question if it was the right choice for me.”

Chris proved a suitable match enabling Dan to have a kidney transplant.

Walter suffered kidney failure at age 19 and received a living donation from his father, lasting 28 years.

“Having someone being willing to put their life on the line for you is beyond humbling.”

Jordan and Morgan Hill carry with them everywhere a custom-made coin inspired by their son’s liver transplant and the man who saved his life.

A rollercoaster of emotions later, we finally got the answer we have prayed so long for. It was me. I was going to be Erin’s donor.
